A Regional Nature Park, lakes, rivers, canals, ancient woodlands, landscapes criss-crossed by a host of walking and riding trails…, in every way Hainaut offers scope for leisure and discovery. Here, a slagheap is the surprising home to an exceptional diversity of plant life, and there, by the Mare à Goriaux, is a bird sanctuary with birds of all varieties offering a wealth of recreational opportunities… Never has Hainaut offered its visitors such riches of Nature.
